Thank you for your response... I am using the simple ado similiar to:

Sub ADOFromExcelToAccess()
' exports data from the active worksheet to a table in an Access
database
' this procedure must be edited before use
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection, rs As ADODB.Recordset, r As Long
' connect to the Access database
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
cn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; " & _
"Data Source=C:\FolderName\DataBaseName.mdb;"
' open a recordset
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.Open "TableName", cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTable

' all records in a table
r = 3 ' the start row in the worksheet
Do While Len(Range("A" & r).Formula) 0
' repeat until first empty cell in column A
With rs
.AddNew ' create a new record
' add values to each field in the record
.Fields("FieldName1") = Range("A" & r).Value
.Fields("FieldName2") = Range("B" & r).Value
.Fields("FieldNameN") = Range("C" & r).Value
' add more fields if necessary...
.Update ' stores the new record
End With
r = r + 1 ' next row
Loop
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
cn.Close
Set cn = Nothing
End Sub

As I reach .Fields("fldFruitType") = Range("K" & r).Value I want to
limit those fruits to an array of some sort. However, I am already in
the process of adding a new record within the loop. Any help would be
appreciated.

Here's a suggestion that uses an array.

Replace you existing loop i.e.

Do While Len(Range("A" & r).Formula) 0
With rs
'... populate rs here
End With
r = r + 1
Loop

with the following:

Do While Len(Range("A" & r).Formula) 0
Dim vntResultArray() As String
vntResultArray = Filter(Array("apples", "bananas", "oranges", "mangos"), _
Range("K" & r).Value, True, 1)
If UBound(vntResultArray) = 0 Then
If vntResultArray(0) = Range("K" & r).Value Then
With rs
'... populate rs here
End With
End If
End If
r = r + 1
Loop

Jamie.
